I have a feeling we are going to overpay for Foreman.  I like the dude, but he ain't worth breaking the bank over, especially as a two-down back.  He's not dynamic enough to overpay. 

I don't think so. Marty Hurney isn't handing out contracts anymore.

Excerpts from he analysis part...

Is general manager Scott Fitterer going to follow that with some big splashes when free agency starts Wednesday? Probably not, given his track record since coming to Carolina two years ago.

Some of Fitterer’s best work has come during the second wave of free agency, after the dust has settled on the biggest names and biggest contracts. Haason Reddick, Frankie Luvu, Bradley Bozeman and Matt Ioannidis are among the value signings who have paid off for the Panthers.

...

Zeroing in on players with high upside who won’t break the bank is especially important this year. The Panthers have a long list of needs — with receiver moving to the top after DJ Moore was included in the Bears’ trade. But they’re also looking for a bridge quarterback to work with whichever QB they draft at No. 1, a pass-catching tight end, speed at linebacker, depth along both lines and maybe a ball-hawking safety.

Fitterer won’t be able to cross off all those items in free agency, which begins at noon ET Monday with the legal tampering period. But it helps that Frank Reich has a veteran-laden coaching staff with connections to players at all positions across the league.

...

I'll pull some tidbits from his free agent list here in a second.

    • It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?
    • I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
    • The natural progression of ANY QB is to take more control of the offense.  Which is all Dave said. He doesn't have a narrative to push. He is says what is the natural thing to say in this situation whether it's Bryce, or any other QB.  THE THREAD TITLE ALONE TWISTS THE NARRATIVE.   so yes, many of you refuse to acknowledge anything other than your screwed perspective, for whatever reason, when it comes to Bryce.  Y'all have a great Easter.
